I read the All souls trilogy years ago and now watching it as a TV show is exciting for the producers and directors have done an excellent job in casting, settings, wardrobe; the actors are doing such wonderful acting the chemistry is really brought to screen. I immensely enjoyed the show in season one and looking forward to seeing it in season 2. Though I had disappointments in the storyline but that's expected and I have come to terms with it. Hence I'm going to watch it without relying on the story book as always the movies fall short from the book. Deborah Harkness had captured a depth to the story, it was essential to understanding the theme, the background in order to fully appreciate the fantasy.
